TAFT PLANS NEW METHOD

President Will Divorce Postoffice Affairs from Politics. President Taft gave evidence of a delire to remove the postoffice department from the field of politics, signing an executive order which will put between 7,000 and 8,000 assistant postmasters of money order offices in the civil list ♦ This, however, will be only a beginning of the reform which Mr. Taft and Postmaster General Hitchcock have decided upon. It will be followed by a recommendation to congress for laws that will put all second and third Class postmaster* under civil service protection. j
